Lawton, Follow these steps: 1. Create a transaction for $120 assigned to the Grocery bucket 2. Click Create Split and change the amount on the Grocery line to $20 3. On the new split line, click the C checkbox in the first column This will create a split transaction that will show up as $120 when you reconcile and split as $20 and $100 when you are looking in the Grocery or Transfers buckets. Your bank register is correct. Now use these steps to spend your cash: 1. Click on the cash account (you'll see your $100 transfer into it) 2. Add a new transaction for each amount of cash you spend until it's depleted Basically you don't have to reconcile your cash account so you can simply keep adding transactions to it each time you spend pocket cash. The transfer from your checking account is built into the split so it's not affecting your register either.
